Cash advances taken shortly before filing bankruptcy can be problematic for the debtor. Some creditors will file an adversary proceeding if they believe the cash advance is nondischargeable. This type of adversary proceeding is basically a lawsuit against you to determine the dischargeability of the cash advance. It must be defended like any other lawsuit or a default judgment will be taken against you. This type of action is by no means a slam-dunk for the creditor. However, some cash advances are presumed nondischargeable. This basically makes it easier for the creditor to make their case. Therefore, it would be wise to mention cash advances you have taken to your bankruptcy attorney before he of she files your bankruptcy case.

We have recently encountered some issues during debt settlement negotiations with creditors. It now seems to be an increasing trend that creditors are requiring a power of attorney form, even from your attorney, to discuss the creditors accounts. Generally, a letter of representation or an authorization form is sufficient. Don’t be shocked however when they refuse to speak with any person who has not been given an effective power of attorney. Although it seems to be a little redundant to have an attorney given such powers (which the retainer has seemingly already given him), the hurdle is minor and is generally easier to comply with than to challenge. If there are any questions or concerns regarding whether or not granting your attorney the power of attorney is a wise decision, then feel free to call us at (516) 858-2620!

You, as the landlord, might have to pay to move and store your evicted tenant’s belongings. This can be extremely expensive (we are talking about thousands of dollars here).
The good news:
- Not all NY counties require the landlord to pay for the moving and storage of an evicted tenant’s belongings.
The bad news:
If your county requires the landlord to move and store an evicted tenant’s belongings:
- You will likely have to hire a licensed and insured moving company.
- You will likely have to pay for storage at a commercial facility.
